Scientific Method Flowchart



Well, I'm shocked. I actually found something informative in a FARK thread -- a flowchart describing how to apply the scientific method. The image is from Earth Sciences, Lecture 1.

    Where is the jump to random conclusion step? That one is important.

    More importantly, where are the "???" and "PROFIT" phases in the scientific method?

    Where's the step that performs make-believe tests to tests hypotheses?

    You know, like make-belive tests for dating an artifact. Or the make-believe tests for evolution.

    That's the important thing about the scientific method: make-believe tests are not considered to have any value. Only real tests of the real world are used in the scientific method.
